  • Abstract
    We propose and experiment a social networking service (SNS) for local communities for tsunami disaster control. It is an easy-to-use GIS-based system with powerful GIS analysis capabilities. One of the features of the system is resident participation. The GIS layer structure proposed in this paper nicely supports this user participation. The system architecture and the use of the system for tsunami disaster control are discussed. We report ongoing developments in Hachinohe-City, Japan
